The 91st annual Academy Awards take place on Sunday, February 24, 2019. In the long lead up to Oscar Sunday, a slew of precursor prizes will be handed out at various ceremonies. While the last of these will be the Indie Spirit Awards a mere 24 hours before the Oscars, the first of these is the Golden Globes, which will be handed out on Sunday, January 6.

The 100 or so Golden Globe voters all belong to the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. They got their nomination ballots the day before Thanksgiving (Nov. 21) and have just a dozen days to complete them. The nominations will be announced on Dec. 6. Final voting for the 76th annual Golden Globes runs from Dec. 17 to Jan. 2.

Prior to the Jan. 14 deadline for Oscar nomination ballots, the Critics’ Choice Awards, which are given out by the Broadcast Film Critics Assn., will also have taken place. The BAFTA Awards will have announced nominations as will the actors, directors, producers and writers guilds. And the major critics groups already will have weighed in with their top picks too.

Below, we detail these key dates.
